Overview
-
New Orleans is rich in history, with stories to tell of slavery, the cotton industry and its kings as well as a fascinating colonial heritage. The tree lined boulevards and oak-shaded streets are dotted with colourful magnolias and are flanked by lavish gardens and magnificent mansions.
Your private guide will take you on a beautiful walk passing by some lovely architecture and cultural hotspots whilst dipping into the city’s heritage. The city’s colonial history reveals it’s most prominently in the French Quarter and some of the most famous literary residents including Tennessee Williams put pen to paper here to produce some of their most notable work.
A visit to New Orleans wouldn’t be complete without learning about Dixie Jazz and the Mardi Gras, one of the world’s best street events and a huge money earner for the city. The great Louis Armstrong was born in New Orleans and he grew up here, a fact that’s still celebrated throughout the city.
